An Australia-wide outage is reportedly affecting Telstra mobile phone customers.

According to aussieoutages.com, areas in all states are experiencing outages.

In a statement on Twitter, Telstra said it is “working to fix an issue impacting some mobile services.”

This is the second incident this month for Australia's biggest telecommunications company, which ran into difficulties in early-May after triple zero services were hit by a network issue that prevented people from calling the emergency number across the country. 

The government is formally investigating the 000 incident, which is believed to have been caused by a lightning-sparked fire at a cable pit east of Orange.
